Stock market triggers today, October 26: Nifty expiry, FOMC meeting, Q2 earnings - What should investors watch?
ET Now 5 hrs ago·27 Oct 2026, 2:09 am
Today’s Indian market is being shaped by three key events: the Nifty options expiry, the US Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting, and the ongoing Q2 earnings season. The expiry, which occurs on the last Thursday of each month, often triggers heightened trading in index futures and options as positions are squared off.
At the same time, the Fed’s policy decision can move global risk sentiment, influencing capital flows into Indian equities and the rupee. Meanwhile, corporate earnings reports are providing fresh data on revenue and profit trends, helping investors gauge sector strength.
Investors should keep an eye on the Fed’s statement and any rate guidance, watch for earnings surprises that could move individual stocks, and monitor how the Nifty behaves in the hours after expiry as volatility eases. Subsequent moves in global markets will also be relevant.
